Re^3: PPM stopped working after trying to install XML::LibXML

Check the Task Manager and look for a detached copy of perl that is holding files open preventing the install from opening that file.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Only one copy of `perl.exe` running and it cleanly exits. It even deletes the temporary directory and its content (the archive-file). CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James	[reply] [d/l]
